Finally after having the game for months I beat SRW W.
my thoughts on it:
Bad:
Underwhelming cast list hurt the game a lot. Not so much because of the units it for you to use, but because of the lack of enemy variety. Most of the game pit you against the same Tekkaman, SEED, GGG grunts, only changing every 20 missions or so.
Recycled J animations very evident and not even altered to fit DS. When Mazinkaiser does the sword raising bit, you can see a blank spot right above the text window... they took the sprite from J and didn't alter it to cover the larger DS screen.
You get Black Selena at the very end of the game
Getter is wasted. It's just there... no plot elements or enemies at all.
Voltron is horribly weak
The good:
The new animations are REALLY good. Genesic GaoGaiGar's Goldion Crusher is more dramatic here than it was in Alpha 3...
The new "animation skip" still allows you to see the outcome of a scene you didn't watch. Think of it as watching it SRW 1 style
Gundam SEED ASTRAY is focused on instead of SEED, good since SEED has already been played out twice in a row
The originals are pretty cool. Banpresto now has an Ideon to play around with it seems...
So it's the best non-OG portable game for SRW now, IMO. Not saying much as the others were average at best. I hope Banpresto tries with the DS again and this time used the systems full capabilities (I don't even think SRW W used half of the DS game card memory capacity...) because I think they can do some really good stuff on the DS... (3d maps would easily be possible, IMO)
) Ardygun family seem to be a kind of space transportor, which isn't common to see in mecha show.
